New short-term cover aims to simplify motorhome borrowing

A new temporary motorhome insurance product has launched in the UK, offering flexible cover for drivers borrowing a motorhome or campervan for short periods. Insurance provider GoShorty has expanded its range of temporary vehicle insurance products with the introduction of motorhome cover available from one to 28 days. The policy is designed to allow borrowers to take out their own standalone insurance, with claims handled separately from the owner's policy to protect their No Claims Discount. The move comes as interest in staycations, road trips and peer-to-peer vehicle sharing continues to grow.

Cycling route retraces Britain's camping pioneers from Oxford to Surrey

A journalist cycled 60 miles on an e-bike from Oxford to Walton-on-Thames, following the path of early campers of the Camping and Caravanning Club (CCC), which celebrates its 125th anniversary. Founded in 1901 as the Association of Cycle Campers, the club has grown from 150 to over 300,000 members. The route included an overnight stay at the family-run Bella Vista Camping in Radnage and a visit to the oldest CCC campsite in Walton, opened in 1913.

Man allowed to keep caravan home on private land in Wales after 30 years

Clive Hetherington has been granted retrospective planning permission to live in a caravan on private land in Cosheston, Pembrokeshire, where he has resided since 1996 without formal approval. Landowner Wendy Campbell submitted the application through Preseli Planning Ltd to recognize the caravan as a permanent dwelling. The decision was praised by North Wales Live readers as 'common sense,' though some raised concerns about council tax arrears.

MSR Switch review: hybrid cook system works with any cookware

MSR has launched the Switch, a hybrid personal cooking system that combines an integrated burner with fold-out pot supports for use with standard cookware. In testing, it boiled 500ml of water in 3 minutes 11 seconds, slower than the Jetboil Flash (2:14) but faster than many screw-in stoves. The system weighs 392g without fuel and costs £140 in the UK.

Car camping: what you need to know before your trip

The article covers key aspects of car camping. Booking a campsite is straightforward, but wild camping with a motor vehicle in the UK is restricted: Dartmoor allows only non-motorised options, and Scotland requires pre-approved sites. Three main types are described: sleeping inside the car, using rooftop tents, and pitching a regular tent next to the vehicle. Practical gear recommendations include a sleeping bag, torch, power bank, and V2L technology for electric cars. Legal warnings about alcohol consumption while in the car are also provided.
